So I've been doing the insurance this morning for my BMW. ::)
The renewal from LV was £315. The cheapest the comparison sites came up with was £265 from Go Compare with Privilege. Tried Aviva, £644! :o
Then Direct Line £245. Better, so I was about to hit the buy button, then thought Cashback!, so went to TopCashBack, and got a quote from Hastings who were giving £55 cashback, but the quote was £380! Bah! >:( Back to Direct Line, via cashback and got the same quote with £26 cashback.
So I'll end up paying £219! :y
-
Renewed mine this morning, it was around 50 quid cheaper than last year, Fully Comp, £520 for Any Car, up to 7.5K limit on any claim though.
-
£289 for the Jag. :-\
The insurers must think I'm a 17 year old with a Veyron.
I was hoping for sub £200.
-
£289 for the Jag. :-\
.....
That looks not bad to me. ..... around the price of a tyre ;)
-
15k miles a year and commuter pack means mine is high, £600 for the VW. However it was £480 odd for the 2.2 Omega, so given the difference in value, not a massive increase.

It'll be just fine on a set of 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 Wanli Ditchfinders.

Well now, I wish I had all those prices! Being my first car, having got my licence in March, my insurance was £1500!

Ouch! ???
Makes my quote of almost £1100 for four cars seem reasonable(ish)

A bloke at work has a XJ Jag .... a MOT & 2 tyres was over £600 ???

Ouch.
VW has 18" wheels with michelin pilot sport 4's, a pair would less than £300. Not sure what tyres he is getting at £250+ a pop :o

Kwik Fit mobile will come to the house.
Using crappy Dunlop Sportmaxx as an example..... £197 for the rear and £161 for the front.
£716.
Unfortunately I can't get the far superior Goodyear F1 to fit the rear. :-\

Can't remember now ..... but sure they were a premium brand
-
Michelin Pilot Super Sport for the M3 and the 645 have been ~£250 a corner each time.

At full RRP probably yes.
Shop around probably a lot less.

Fudging fudgecakes :o
Probably the badge, as VW drivers are, to quote Mrs TB, pathetic men with small cocks. I think she is inferring they don't drive with due care and attention ;D
I'm down as 20k per year, full business use for both of us, fully comp with protected NCD, well under £200 (from memory, £176).
-
Yeah, but you is old ;D
-
MrsT, 4K miles and no commute on the 3.2 is over £700 ::)
-
Worked out as £240 earlier this year, fully comprehensive which covers both of our 2 cars, the omega 3.2 manual, and oldish W Reg micra 1.0 with Aviva after multipolicy discount (cars, house building/contents ), and after cashback via the topcashback site.
Sold the micra yesterday though , as awaiting another vehicle so will transfer existing policy in due course :)

I'd like to say I've never paid that much. But I have. I paid over £900 for my Mk2 Astra GTE when I was 21, right at the time when the TV news was full of footage they'd got of joyriders nicking GTE's and racing them around Blackbird Leys in Oxford. Next years premium was £3k, so I sold it before the renewal ;)

I paid £636 tpf&t in 1979. That was a huge amount of money in those days. But your only young & stupid once. Im now old and just as stupid, but my insurance is much cheaper. ;D
